Did any of the Sand Snakes get an actual shot on Euron? Or is the show going to forget the fact they poison their weapons?

I've read the reviews and most of the comments, but there's one thing I haven't seen discussed. Why is BBC America (at least on my cable system) showing a weird, lo-def shrunken version of this? It's on my system's HD channel and the BBC America logo and promos in the lower right bleed over the edge of the image…

Yeah, I'm thinking the Wall coming down is either the season-ending cliffhanger, or the big event that usually happens in the penultimate episode.

And like Battlestar, the more Thrones dabbles in "magic," the less interesting it becomes.

Or the granddaddy of them all, Quark.

Do you favor "pee-can" or "pe-cahn?"

Also, where do you stand on praline?

Did you see Smart in Fargo or Legion? Whole different light, indeed.

"and giving them an appetite for brains…"

Romero invented the modern zombie, but the specific appetite for brains came from the Romero homage Return of the Living Dead.. Credit where credit is due.

Warburton's squirrel-speak is one of the best things he ever did. You can instantly tell if someone's seen the movie by saying "squeak, squeaky, squeakum, squeak" in a deep voice and watching them respond.

Yeah, her glance at their stacked weapons was telling.

How the animators snuck New Groove in under the noses of the Disney brass, I'll never know. I guess it was originally supposed to be this ponderous musical and got made on the cheap after the original concept didn't work. But I've heard it described - accurately, in my opinion - as Disney's version of a Warner…

I think his surprise was more about the sheer volume of the Dragonglass, rather than the presence of it - the fact that Dragonstone was built on a "mountain" of it.

I've always equated the Doom itself with the Fall of Numenor. But Numenor was destroyed by the rising sea like Atlantis, rather than from volcanic activity.

The following is pure speculation on my part. I've not read the books, so more learned individuals are free to explain to me why I'm wrong.

The article doesn't mention it and I've not read all the comments, but she was also in one of the very best episodes of Black Mirror. Without spoiling, let's just say her character has a dark side that should serve her well in this role.

I was in junior high in '77 and there were guys in my class that made fun of it as a silly kids movie. It's universally recognized as a cultural touchstone today, but even then the "cool kids" looked down on it.

Sorry, haters. I really like TFA too. Gave me a new group of characters I care about while honoring the originals.

Yep. I'm going to be crying every second Leia is onscreen.

I think he was initially hamstrung by the fact that his first season was basically: "Steven Moffat's The Companion featuring the Doctor." During this past season, especially, I think he's really come into his own. And his chemistry with Pearl Mackie has been terrific. Frankly, I'm sorry to see both of them go, as…

Eccleston is my second favorite Doctor after Tom Baker. Just the right balance of goofiness and arrogance, and you could feel the intelligence pulsing below the surface. Without him, the reboot probably doesn't get very far.
